I was writing the earlier this week (either here or VH). Pros NEVER over-process video. Amateurs make this mistake frequently, however. Don't do this.

Accept that the source is what it is. Restore it, yes. But don't try to do wacky things trying to make it either 1% better or perfect, such as boosting the SD res source to HD res. That's never going to look good. The very best you can hope for is a tiny improvement. But odds are it ends up worse, not better.

If you're going to do it, I would resize to 960x720 and then add 320 on each side, simply for the sake of a nice clean border.
This is correct. :congrats:

But again, not suggested.

I don't know. How do I check? I encode with TMPGenc and then author with TMPGenc DVD Author. All my DVDs are played correctly on all set top players.

I see. I've already started a new thread in General discussion to persuade the VLC developer to implement a new feature. Can you guys help to contribute?

You're totally wrong. I may get rid of my VHS and LaserDiscs, but I will NEVER delete my original Huffyuv files!!!!! :D :)

Noted. Thank you. What about 704x480? Add 8 pixels on each side, then resize to 960x720 and then add 320?

If you use MPC-HC you can check the MediaInfo tab when playing the VOB. Or download MediaInfo by itself.

Lots of confusion and miscommunication there. Huffyuv can be TFF, BFF, progressive... It's the capture device that causes the video stream that Huffyuv is compressing to be TFF or BFF. You would get the same results if you captured to uncompressed as well.

It's 160 on each by the way. I forgot to divide by 2.
